On June 12, 2010, I woke up from history…a full recovery from Parkinson’s. On any given day, every one of you has the opportunity to wake up from history as well. However, for now, let’s focus on what you are doing right here, right now.
I want to share a song with you. It needs a brief background so I may tie it into today’s blog post and your recovery journeys. Near the end of 1989, much was changing in the world, including bringing down the Berlin Wall and a shift in politics around the world.
As a result, a young British musician was inspired to write a song. He was thrilled to see that right here, right now, each day, the world was waking up from history.
Right Here, Right Now
Here is the group Jesus Jones singing Right Here, Right Now. I picked the lyrics version so you can see the impactful words:

Being in the moment
We talk about being in the moment. Also, I have asked many times, “What are you doing right here, right now, in this moment?”
Look at the words in the song, “Right here, right now, there is no other place I want to be.” What you need to know is that what you are doing, and your attitude toward what you are doing, right here, right now is what is going on in your life in this moment.
Hopefully, there is no other place that you want to be other than right here, right now. Additionally, what you choose to do right here, right now will influence what comes next.
Doing the Recipe
Choosing to do the Parkinson’s Recipe for Recovery® enhances that what you are doing right here, right now will substantially improve what comes next in your life. Additionally, I will break this down for you.
The Recipe is a soul, mind, and body life-changing, re-balancing, recovery journey roadmap.
When you are doing the Recipe body part with Qigong exercises, chants, and healthy eating, right here, right now, you are healing the organs in the body. Additionally, you are strengthening the body to sustain your full recovery when you wake up from history.
Moreover, when you are doing the Recipe mind part with meditation, mindfulness, and getting rid of negative emotions and fear, right here, right now, you are healing and calming the mind. Also, this will assist you in sustaining your full recovery when you wake up from history.
Finally, when you are doing the Recipe soul part with re-connecting to the Divine in a deeply meaningful way, right here, right now, you are able to find self-acceptance, self-love, a feeling of worthiness, and the knowing that your best is good enough. This enhances releasing your dopamine at full capacity and provides the potential for you to wake up from history with your full recovery.
Wake up from history
Let’s wake up from history. Here is review of the chorus from the song:
Right here, right now
There is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now
Watching the world wake up from history
Western Medicine history of Parkinson’s:
You cannot slow, halt, reverse, or cure Parkinson’s.
Our history of Parkinson’s:
Hundreds of you slowing, halting, and reversing Parkinson’s in partial recovery.
Nine of us cured from Parkinson’s.
However, the world still is asleep to the notion of being cured from Parkinson’s.
When enough of us are cured from Parkinson’s, and the world accepts that Parkinson’s is curable, we will sit back with the same feeling as that young British musician in 1989 when he penned:
Right here, right now
There is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now
Watching the world wake up from history
Finally, in the comments below, let us know what you are doing right here, right now to enhance your opportunity to wake up from history with your full recovery.
You are worth it!!!
All my best,
Howard
I am doing the recipe daily. Waking up with the sun and walking in nature. I strengthen my body by lifting weights, and nourish my body with clean and healthy food. I pray, meditate and do mirror work. I get curious and become an observing witness in my life to let go of old patterns that do not serve me in my life anymore.
Most importantly I remind myself that I am ok, all is well and the universe is always working for me not against me. I love me…..and I am worth it! We are all worth it!
I am waking up from history everyday!
Thanks for this lovely question Howard!
Great post, Howard!
The recipe and I have become soul mates. When I’m down, it lifts me up – and I know it’s taking me to recovery. God bless all you recipe-ers out there!
Way to go, Mark!!
From a newbie at the recipe
I am finding my authentic self, Howard, through the Recipe and emotional healing work.
Right now my world is perfect.
I accept myself unconditionally, right now.
I am doing the recipe most every day to keep my body strong, along with PT exercises. I am eating clean food and very very little sugar anymore. I am thanking God when I hit hurdles in walking, accepting the healing. I am releasing the past every day, as I recall this and that from long ago. I am smiling in the mirror and greeting myself with love and compassion. Right here right now I am ready for my Parkinson’s recovery! I am grateful to all of you for your words and support.
I do the recipe since 558 days. Some days I feel bad, some days I feel good. But the good days are often now, and it is better than before, and I feel the change in the right direction which makes me happy.
Thank you again Howard for your helpfull support!
I am doing the recipe every day and I am so grateful for all the blessings that I have. I thank God every day for the recovery that is happening. I look forward to waking up from history with my full recovery.
Thank you Howard for another inspirational message!
Right here, right now divine daily connection with God, ‘massaging’ and getting rid off huge amounts of the mind’s negativity. Not dwelling at least in negative thoughts. No meats, dairy, fried products! Qigong exercises come not first these days due to extreme heat and fatigue.
Overall, holistic overview is the way out of our tunnel. :) Thank you my dear friend!
Doing the Recipe daily, eating well, meditating, getting good sleep, walking in the sunshine, getting a massage, stretching daily, enjoying life and my dear friends right here, right now. The way to full recovery is waking up to what works right here, right now. We can do this and we are worth it!! Thank you, Howard, for this great message!
Doing the Recipe daily, Smiling daily at myself in the mirror, Accepting myself & Loving myself more and more everyday, Cultivating an “OK…. Thank you!” attitude towards all that comes my way, Giving thanks for the full recovery that Grows in me every moment…
Thank you so much, Howard, for your wisdom and support!
Great post Howard! I saw Jesus Jones in concert here in St.Pete in the 90’s.
I will sing the lyrics to Michael!
Much Love to you and all your subscribers.
I believe the more people reversing their symptoms will send a message to the world that we have the power to heal ourselves.
Right here right now I am faithfully doing the soul, mind, body portion of the recipe, all three parts. I’ve hit a daily rhythm with this work and I’m grateful for it. I have faith in God, myself and the recipe process, so I know I’m going to recover. I know because of this, I’m not supposed to obsess about my symptoms but I sometimes do. This is one thing that I work on every day. Most days I read something from Howard‘s blog and lately, because my healing days are more often than not I’m reading daily, Fighting Parkinson’s, and OK…increased symptoms…and being excited! I’m doing my best to not get stuck thinking about my symptoms and some days it’s harder than others to be faithful and courageous but I know that’s my number one job right now! It helps to know that I’m not alone, and I have all of you Recipe warriors out there doing the same thing. Today is a really good day, and I’m excited! #Temporary #Courageous
Thanks for your wonderful post Yvonne. I appreciate you sharing your faith and also the difficulty in maintaining it strongly when symptoms increase. This reflects my experience too and so I’m thankful for your honesty. I can accept that I have faith but that sometimes it is challenged and I can hold both these things simultaneously and compassionately within me. I am thankful for faith and also for this community as we support each other.
Dear Kathleen, thank you so much for your comment. It’s taken me almost 4 years to reach this level of honesty and vulnerability. I am delighted to know that I can connect with you— we are all one and can use this opportunity to validate and lift each other up! Have an absolutely wonderful day!
Right here right now I am doing the Recipe. With each dailly exercise, each calm moment, and with each gratitude to the Father I am slowing, halting and reversing Pakinson’s right here right now.
Thank you Howard! You are helping us wake up from history.
I want to be part of the Parkinson’s Recovery history! In other words, right here, right now, I am doing the Parkingson’s Recovery Recipe because I am worth it!
Thank you Howard!
I am practicing some or all of the recipe almost every day. I’m doing PT, OT, and correcting my mind. I am Loving myself and those I meet to the best of my ability.
Right here, right now I am excited to be part of a community of strong people who refuse to take ‘no’ for an answer.
We are all working so hard to make history, we can’t fail. We are all worth it.
Thank you so much, Howard, for all you do.
Right here, right now
There is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now
Watching the world wake up from history!
Howard, you and others have accomplished
this and so can I. By doing the recipe daily I
am going to make history as well! Being mindful
and grateful . Saying OK….I accept what just
happened and loving myself.
Because I am worth it!!!!
We are all worth it and we will make
history together!
Much love to you all today and every day.
My husband Tersem is on his way to recovery too. He has been doing the recipe for recovery for three and half months, and as his wife, whatever way I can help him, encourage him, shower my love on him, always talking positive, of course there are ups and downs, but ever since taking coaching from Howard, our faith has reached 100%. Having Howard in our lives changed everything for us, talking to him each week has strengthened our desire and faith absolutely, we know now Tersem is on his way to full recovery. Tersem is actually experiencing the benefits like more energy, he feels stronger, he is more happy.
Thank you Howard for sharing this healing music. Music inspires the soul, the lyrics entice the mind, and the overall effect reassures the body that it’s going to be ok. What a nice little package of joy!
I had difficulty sleeping one night this past week and instead of ruminating on what that meant, I did some cabling (Jin Shin Jyutsu) and also reminded myself that I was getting better not worse. Shortly after, I was able to drop peacefully off to sleep.
I’ve also been practicing Gratitude in Advance. This simple exercise keeps me doing one relentless affirmation instead of working on so many that I could become overwhelmed.
I’m also focusing on positivity. Thank you to Howard and our wonderful warriors!
Right here, right now, I am doing the recipe daily, talking with God often, practicing self-compassion and acceptance of others. I am also visualizing my future without Parkinson’s. Wonderful imaginings!
Right here, right now I’m re-committing to my vision of my future being symptom free of Parkinson’s, fully cured. I’ll continue to work daily on the Recipe and tell myself I’m extraordinary, I am my own cure and I’m worth it.
I too I’m grateful to you, Howard, and to all your subscribers. This song was one of those popular when I was a kid so it brings back memories.
I believe in my full recovery.
I believe I am worthy.
I’m grateful every day.
